Write Around Portland

Write Around Portland uses creative writing to help people heal, change, and transform.

Our programs are designed to show participants that they are already writers. That their stories are worthwhile not just for their content but how they’re told.

We bring our programming directly to the people who need it, writing with them in convenient places where they already live or receive services.

We partner with agencies and organizations (including hospitals, schools, prisons, treatment centers, assisted living communities, low-income housing buildings, homeless shelters, and other healthcare and social service agencies) to provide creative writing groups for the adults and youth they serve.

Try one of our community writing groups, circles, or workshops in our Prompt, Freewrite, and Resonate offerings! All experience levels welcome! Virtual and in person opportunities are available.
